When Zheng Ren opened his eyes, the sun was peeking over the skyline. Was that what counted as a sleepless night? After drinking the energy elixir, Zheng Ren felt recharged and energized as if he had just gotten a full night’s sleep. He smiled and picked up his phone to send a morning greeting to Xie Yiren. That simple exchange with her was enough to make him happy. There was no response as Xie Yiren was still asleep. The giddy smile on Zheng Ren’s face did not falter, however.…

Zheng Ren was still training in the System. He was getting faster at the surgery and spending less time thinking as well. On average, each surgery earned Zheng Ren about 450 skill points. Zheng Ren sighed inwardly and admitted that this was truly the toughest procedure in all of interventional surgery. It was apparent just from the increase in skill points. In order to reach Prime level in surgery, one had to train to perform incredibly intricate surgeries. Relying on appendectomy alone would take…

Feng Xuhui stood at the airport lobby as he recalled what the owner of Tang Song Restaurant had told him. The man’s prediction had come true! No wonder he was a successful businessman. Feng Xuhui was exhilarated by his own luck. It was still very early. Feng Xuhui made several circuits before leaving the arrival hall to stroll outside of the building. He felt uncomfortable not being able to share this wonderful occasion with someone else. Heading upstairs, he positioned himself beside the…

“Only you could say such a thing,” Su Yun said disdainfully. “Are you aware of the academic ranking of Heidelberg University?” “I couldn’t care less about the university’s ranking or the professor’s reputation. All that matters is the surgery,” Zheng Ren said calmly. After that, he stood and grabbed the mouse. He skipped to the 43 minute and 18 second mark in a single click. “Here, Professor Rudolf Wagner did not proceed with superselective catheterization. Instead, he chose…

Zheng Ren pointed at one of the arterial branches on the bladder. “Su Yun, mark this spot down,” he said to the assistant, who was standing behind him. Su Yun recorded the position of the spot that Zheng Ren had specified with a pen and paper. He did not write it down in English or Chinese characters, opting instead for a sequence of unique symbols that only he could understand. Even though his notes were simple, the A4-sized paper was almost completely filled and on the verge of being…

In the era of technology, news tended to spread like wildfire. The success of the prostate interventional embolization surgery in Sorcery Capital reached the higher-ups of Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery in record time. It was earth-shattering news for the company. While the professors in Imperial Capital had been studying scans and researching ways to carry out the surgery, Biosensors International had invited the world-class surgeon, Professor Rudolph Wagner, from Heidelberg University to…

“What’s wrong, Manager Feng?” Zheng Ren asked. “Chief Zheng... I... Have I offended you in some way?” Feng Xuhui asked hesitantly. “Did you? What happened?” Zheng Ren looked confused. Su Yun glanced at him with disdain. Was this man really that obtuse? “This afternoon...” Zheng Ren realized what Manager Feng was referring to and quickly said, “Oh, that. I wanted to speak with Su Yun privately then. Everything is fine.” The words did little to improve Feng Xuhui’s…

It was lunch soon and Department Chief Kong invited Zheng Ren to the Little Stove Canteen. However, Zheng Ren’s attention was elsewhere and he politely turned it down. They agreed to reconvene at 2:00 pm in the genitourinary department. Zheng Ren also dismissed Feng Xuhui, who had been waiting by the door, in an unusually brusque manner. For the first time, Zheng Ren asked Su Yun, “What are we having for lunch?” Su Yun was silent. “We’ll just grab something, then,” Zheng Ren…

The patients were all stable after surgery. There would be no serious side effects as their dosages of chemotherapeutic drugs had not been that high. In fact, there was not even the need for ECG monitoring after surgery. Checkups were complete in no time at all. “Little Zheng, what’s your estimated success rate?” Chief Kong asked. The closer he was to success, the more worried Chief Kong became; his mind continued to revolve around risk and reward. Success rate? Zheng Ren recalled seeing…

At some point, Bu Ruotian had arrived at the ward. He stood nearby and greeted Qin Liren with a smile. “You’re here.” Qin Liren finally regained a fragment of his old pride. He placed both of his hands behind his back subconsciously and humphed, “Let’s have a word outside, it’s too crowded in here.” Bu Ruotian’s smile did not waver as he looked Qin Liren up and down. “Old friend, you’re in better shape than I am. I think the risk of complications is rather low and you’ll be able…
